POLICE CHANGE POLICY ON NO-KNOCK WARRANTS
DENVER (AP) - Police have changed their policy on so-called no-knock search
warrants because one man was killed in an apparently unfounded raid.
Ismael Mena, 45, was shot eight times by Denver SWAT officers during a
Sept. 29 raid. Officers said they found Mena in a shooting stance, pointing
a gun at officers and refusing to lower it.
Mena's son, Heriberto Mena, said his father's friends and neighbors think
he may have thought he was protecting himself against and intruder.
